Hello, Chorus Families…
This letter details concert directions, in school rehearsals, and procedures.
I think I have covered everything here, but please feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
There are nearly 1,500 seats in Parkland High School Auditorium, so please bring any family and friends!!
6th Grade Students should be dropped off near the auditorium. The “A Wing” runs parallel to the left side of the auditorium. Security guards are posted at all entrances for the protection of your children. Once the students enter the A-Wing they will not be permitted to leave. Every room has OMS faculty chaperones posted. Students must report to one of the chaperones in their designated room to sign-in.
7th and 8th Grade Students should report to the cafeteria (located at the opposite side of the circle designated as the “ATHLETICS” portion of the HS.. They may either walk through the building to get there in the case of precipitation or enter through the courtyard, weather permitting.
Sixth Grade will perform first. They will watch the remainder of the concert from the balcony. Students will be dismissed to the auditorium at the end of the concert. Administration kindly asks that you please do not put the security guards or chaperones in an awkward position by asking to make an exception and leaving early.
The more than 450 students in the concert have worked very hard and we cannot wait to perform for you!!
